In this episode of Reforming Nerdom, we sit down with Joe Rigney and Doug Wilson to talk all things C.S. Lewis. From the magic of Narnia to the overlooked brilliance of the Ransom Trilogy, we explore what it means to imagine an unfallen world, debate the best reading order for The Chronicles of Narnia, and ask which of Lewis’s works might truly be his masterpiece.

This lighthearted but thoughtful conversation blends literary debate with Christian worldview reflection, showing how Lewis’s stories continue to shape our understanding of truth, beauty, and imagination.

Jordan and Nate break down Jimmy Kimmel’s firing/indefinite suspension and ask what it means for free speech in a culture that keeps moving the goalposts. Is this corporate choice, government pressure, or both? And by what standard do we judge “hate speech”? The guys contrast Hollywood’s norms with God’s law—covering bearing false witness, incitement, defamation, and when civil authority should (and shouldn’t) act.

In this special episode, Nate and Jordan step away from their usual deep dives into nerd culture to reflect on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Together, they consider Charlie’s faithful ministry and the impact of his work, while asking how Christians should respond when moments of tragedy shake our culture. Rather than despair, they point to the hope of Christ’s Kingdom, the call to faithfulness in every sphere of life, and the confidence that God is at work even in the darkest of times. This conversation explores what it means to long for cultural transformation, to stand firm in the gospel, and to live with courage in an age of chaos.
